Soul Purpose Leadership

Dance. Play. Intuition.

Wanna know how to leverage these superhuman tools to detach from the institution and walk in freedom?

Soul Purpose Leadership Podcast Episode 62: LEADERSHIP GOLD: De-Institutionalizing Our World and Creating Sovereignty + Freedom with Rev. Tracy Clark has got you covered, friends!

Let's start with a bit more about Tracy, whose trauma-to-triumph story includes disability and disease, kidnapping, and divorce, all of which ultimately led her on a journey of self-discovery and healing. An author and ordained Reverend, Tracy started the TLC Community of Extraordinary Living and has helped people around the world to transform their lives through connection with God.

In light of Tracy's experience, she's sharing all about de-institutionalizing our world in order to create sovereignty and freedom, including her personal story of when she knew she had to leave the institutional way of thinking.

Institutional thinking dampens our creativity and intuition. But how can we respond to this when this is really all we've known? How can we go against the grain? Tune in to today's episode to find out (hint: baby steps!!).

Speaking of intuition and action steps, one of Tracy's encouragements is to ask yourself: "Is this better for all of humanity?" After all, intuition is NOT selfish. We are here to serve!

And because we were created to serve from a place of freedom, NOT slavery, we discuss dreaming, playing, and child like faith that you won't want to miss.

Episode 61 of the Soul Purpose Leadership Podcast drops TODAY and we're joined by Dr. Elena Estanol! Dr. Elena is a #1 best-selling author, high performance psychologist & Intuitive Leadership Mentor who has been up-leveling CEOs, speakers, writers, performers, athletes, coaches & purpose-based entrepreneurs to become extraordinary beings and legendary leaders for over 16 years and today on Episode 61 we're chatting Leadership Perspectives: Talking Everything HIGH Performance, the A.W.A.R.E. Model and Intuitive Leadership.

On today's episode Dr. Elena shares about the importance of always learning; we dive deep into peak performance vs. high performance and hone in on the power of consistency. Yep, consistency! How often do we overcomplicate things? This discussion is so freeing, insightful, and applicable to daily life.

How about the A.W.A.R.E. Model? You'll have to tune in for the juicy details, but get ready to learn all about connecting to your intuition, working on weaknesses, ownership + integrity, and what really is the difference between excellence and perfection (and why does it matter?).

"Having a commitment to excellence doesn't mean you don't make mistakes. It means you're willing to recognize when you're making mistakes, you're willing to take responsibility, and then you're willing to reassess and try again." Mic-drop!

We also touch on those tricky "blind spots" - you know the ones. In the end, it all comes down to intuitive leadership. As Dr. Elena says, "I believe that intuition is the channel of communication that exists between our human self and our higher self."

This one will leave its mark on you in the very best way!

Episode 60 of Soul Purpose Leadership is now streaming and this second quarter of the year is centered on the true meaning of leadership with counter-intuitive tools that can take you and your team to the next level, and this week we're focusing on those must-have tough conversations, leadership paradoxes, motive, and mastery with Dan Tocchini.

For the last 35 years Dan has been a business and social entrepreneur and a published author. He is a co-founder and the CEO of Take New Ground, a consultancy that focuses on training and developing Founders to live a vital life of meaning. Dan's clients include; ESPN, Disney, Interstate Batteries, Microsoft, Hyperloop-One, Jeni's Special Ice Cream, Smarty Pants Vitamins and a number of NGO's.

Dan shares some of his story on today's episode: "I remember being told there was no hope. I remember being told that the circumstances were the way they were, and there was nothing we could do about it." He goes on to state that "A leader is someone who doesn't have circumstances determine who they are and how they're going to stand." Can we get an amen!!

And now onto those tough conversations… buckle up, because they're happening! "Conversations you don't want to have? They're boomerangs." -How symbolic of this last year - those of us who've avoided tough convos… how have you adapted as a leader to communicate in an effective way?

We also discuss motives, assessment tools, navigating paradoxes as leaders, and other valuable tools to better understand yourself, your business, your family.

Thanks, Dan, for a powerful episode - listeners, we can't wait for your feedback! Those 5 star reviews are always appreciated to help spread the word about Soul Purpose Leadership.

Articulating your vision.

Speaking up in your message.

Stewarding your gifts.

Getting back to connection.

These are just some of the topics we're covering on today's episode of the Soul Purpose Leadership podcast with David Norrie! David is the best-selling author of the book Turned On, co-host of the Turned On podcast and founder of Socially Speaking, an occupational training program designed to help entrepreneurs and professionals articulate their passions and products with a greater degree of charisma and marketability.

We brought David on the show today because in this second quarter of 2021, we're diving a little deeper into what leadership is - having some tougher convos, because let's be real - it's time. It needs to happen. And we're forging the way with you and for you.

On today's episode, Leadership "+": The power of "stories," speaking up, elevator convos AND 1984!, we discuss storytelling. After all, storytellers are teachers, and as David says, "We have to get back to being human again." Yep, we have to speak the truth even when - especially when - it's hard.

Have you been feeling the urge to speak up, but for whatever reason are holding back? David encourages us to GO THERE. "There is no other option," he says. "It's supposed to be ugly… it's supposed to be hard. Because it's going to define why you get up out of bed every day."

Finally, David teaches us that it's not just our message that's important, but how we deliver it. We need to not only create our mission statement, but get it out to the world in truth and in love. That's how we steward our gifts well and get back to connection - back to 1984 (tune in for more on this!).

Today we introduce our 2021 Quarter 2 of Soul Purpose Leadership! Our first quarter was focused on WELLNESS, and this quarter is all about LEADERSHIP - more specifically, bringing you cutting-edge, counter-intuitive tools designed to catapult you to the next level!

To kick off our leadership series, we're bringing on speaker + author Blaine Bartlett. Blaine coaches and consults worldwide with leaders, executives, companies, and governments. He was recently featured in the TV series World's Greatest Motivators, and was formally invested as a Knight of the Sovereign Order of St. John of Jerusalem Knights of Malta, the world's oldest humanitarian organization! Today we discuss leadership components ranging from western culture "pedestals" and "hero-leaders", to Blaine's breaking moment and the importance of a leadership WHY. Do you know your WHY?

But let's back up a little - before we start really diving into leadership, success, and everything in between this quarter, it's important that we identify what these terms really even mean.

"Leadership is about co-creating coordinated movement," says Blaine; and "Success is, in large part, predicated on me having the capacity to continually start over." We break this down much more on-air, so tune in if these definitions got you thinking.

We also discuss the paradox in leadership and the power of uncertainty/vulnerability, self-mastery, and leadership mastery. Whew! It's a GOOD one and our inbox is open for your feedback and questions.

He is also privileged to work alongside the Ancient Nutrition team for the last 3 years as the Director of Strategy, and we are privileged to be students of his on today's episode: Wellness + Marketing Power: How fanning your true self in both creates a powerful dance.

Are you a high-performer? Entrepreneur? Both? Then you'll want to tune in today as Dr. David and Jennifer discuss everything from how to start a business (planting "marketing seeds," bearing fruit, pruning) to Chinese medicine - it really all comes down to where your gifting, passion, and money align. As Dr. David says, "If you can be in that place (of alignment), you actually have multiplication versus addition and subtraction."

Business owners, it's time to get hyper-focused! Hear Dr. David's story: "I stopped trying to grow five different businesses and I got really good at growing one business." Speaking of stories, Dr. David gives encouragement to keep sharing YOUR story… again, and again, and again as you dial in your ideal client.

And, last but not least, stay tuned for the "golden ticket" in business, and thoughts on integrity and re-defining influence.

It's a GREAT one today and you'll walk away with practical ideas, spiritual encouragement, and re-energized to go out and fan your true self!

The Soul Purpose Leadership Podcast is humbled to host Scott Shannon, MD on this week's episode: Mental Health Mastery for Our Kiddos: Powerful tools to make the shift from struggle to success!

Dr. Shannon, a "student of consciousness," has published four books on holistic and integrative mental health including the first textbook for this field in 2001. Dr. Shannon is a past President of the American Holistic Medical Association and a past President of the American Board of Integrative Holistic Medicine. He lectures all over the world to professional groups interested in a deeper look at mental health issues and a paradigm shifting perspective about transformative care.

On this week's episode of Soul Purpose Leadership, Dr. Shannon gives us all the insider info and practical tips on how to help the next generation - and ourselves - break free of mental health trappings. And there's a dire need for it, too - devastatingly, suicide rates have increased by 30% in the pediatric population over the last 2 decades. "When I went into medicine and psychiatry 30-some years ago, pediatric depression was a rare event… now, we expect that 25% of children at this time will experience severe, significant depression by the time they reach adulthood," Dr. Shannon says.

Not-so-fun fact: According to the World Health Organization, depression is slated to become the number one disabling issue worldwide in the next few years. Why? How is this the reality that's being passed on to our children, and what we can do about it? Tune in and take notes as Dr. Shannon shares not only valuable, but truly practical information that can be implemented right now.

We hope you'll tune in to this must-listen episode of Soul Purpose Leadership, available now on your favorite podcast app. If you found the episode to be helpful or insightful, will you take a moment to drop a rating and leave a review in the Apple Podcasts app?

If you did a double-take just now - YES that is THE Joel Brown gracing the cover of this week's Soul Purpose Leadership Podcast episode! Joel Brown joined us to discuss The True Meaning of Wealth: God, You, IMPACT on Episode 55 today! Joel is the founder of top motivational website Addicted2Success.com and is a highly sought after speaker and coach in online marketing and self development breakthroughs. He's also the co-host of the Unknown God podcast, a podcast about God for people who don't like church 😉

Backing things up a little bit - for the newer faces around here, the Soul Purpose Leadership podcast exists to create a deep movement in you - that you feel inspired on a soul-level to shift and grow. And that's exactly what Joel's interview delivers.

Joel starts by sharing this about his relationship with God: "It's a personable experience. You're walking with Him. He's not this - like - man in the sky above the clouds that points down at you now and then and tells you what to do and what not to do - He wants a personal relationship with us. That's love."

Do you have this kind of relationship with your Creator? Do you know that this same relationship is available and freely accessible to you?

Jennifer and Joel discuss how God wants to be the center of everything from our sufferings to our successes. They discuss moving from self-actualization to spiritual-actualization and co-creating with God. They also discuss how to avoid "playing small" - Joel encourages asking the question, "What's blocking me and stopping me from realizing that I'm already 'here'?"

For more on this and even more on the TRUE meaning of wealth, tune into this week's episode.

"You have to practice being vulnerable and becoming fully known. Because you cannot be fully loved if you're not fully known."

-Darryll Stinson, our guest on this week's episode of Soul Purpose Leadership.

Darryll Stinson is a former Division I athlete, author, two-time TEDx speaker, and Founder of Second Chance Athletes. After going from suicidal to successful, Darryll uses his experience to give hope to the hopeless, and he's here today to help you Create Your Mental Edge!

Author of the best-selling book Who Am I After Sports? An Athletes Roadmap to Discover New Purpose and Live Fulfilled, Darryll shares his story of going from star athlete to opioid addiction, depression, and ultimately, HOPE. And to bring hope, we must start with confronting self-limiting beliefs and self-sabotaging pitfalls head-on. Darryll shares his best practices for doing so on today's podcast episode, so tune in 🎧 and takes notes 📝 - we did!!

Darryll and Jennifer discuss everything from what mental wellness actually means (to Darryll, it's having peace in the worst of circumstances - "That's wellness. That's perspective. That's power," he says), to the dangers in attaching IDENTITY to ACTIVITY, to even the benefits of laughter, community, and counseling.

So, what does mental wellness mean to you? How do you create your mental edge? Chime in with your thoughts and reflections on Instagram @jenniferwatsonleadership so we can learn and grow, together.

What food allergies/intolerances do you have? How is your gut doing? Are you prone to jumping from health trend to trend? Do you believe your body can actually achieve its optimal health?

If these questions stopped ✋ your scroll, you're going to want to open up that podcast app and tune into today's episode of Soul Purpose Leadership.

Crystal Melanson, founder of The Preconception Plan, is a Board Certified Holistic Health Practitioner and Nutritionist specializing in helping women and couples maximize and mend their fertility. On today's Soul Purpose Leadership episode, she brings us the truth about sustainability in wellness - particular with food! In fact, it's Crystal's own personal struggles with health that led her to pursue sustainability and health optimization.

"We like quick fixes - the 7 days of this or 2 weeks of that - that's not sustainability. - Crystal Melanson.

So, what is sustainability? "Something you know you can achieve, but that is getting you slightly out of your comfort zone," Crystal says. And getting slightly out of our comfort zone is what many of us need to do to become Soul Purpose Leaders over our health - after all, "There is normal, and there is common. Just because it's common doesn't mean it's OK. Most of America is sick and unhealthy. That's not OK. We want to be optimal."

Tune in to hear some practical next steps from Crystal on how to leverage food as medicine. Crystal and Jennifer also chat fertility and the importance of healthy reproduction, whether male or female, no matter your age or stage of life.
